Among its other provisions, the Act contained special enforcement provisions targeted at those areas of the country where Congress believed the potential for discrimination to be the greatest. Under Section 5, jurisdictions covered by these special provisions could not implement any change affecting voting until the Attorney General or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia determined that the change did not have a discriminatory purpose and would not have a discriminatory effect. ~ terminate gerrymandering ~ GA congress districts ~ extreme gerrymander ~ Court Draws Georgia Map Of Congressional Districts The State Legislature, which is controlled by Democrats, ceded responsibility for drawing new Congressional lines to the courts in September when it failed to agree on a plan in a 20-day special session. That session was called after the United States Supreme Court ruled in June that Georgia’s 1992 Congressional map was unconstitutional because race played a dominant role in the configuration of the 11th District.

All you have to do is add one more word. ~ “We are monitoring this situation closely #Monkenzie. According to the Fraternal Order of Police handbook, and Codex of the Blue Wall of Silence, police can only get away with running over #Negroes and #Niggralinos. They are authorized to run over certain types of white people. The woman in this case appears to have been completely innocent and was just going on about her business, not bothering anybody. We’ll conduct a thorough, internal investigation to see if this cop was actually responding to a high priority call, or speeding past traffic to hurry up and get some donuts or something. Similarly to the case of a woman in a town outside of Buffalo, who was walking in the woods near her house, who was shot and killed by a hunter (who was hunting after hours) who thought he was shooting a deer – we may very well take some minimal criminal action against this officer. We’ll have to finish our investigation to sort out all the details. #LonnieBarlowShow #Niggerology” (311) ~ @TweetPotato314 Jesus: *doing crossword* I’m stuck on 2 across. ~ @pdxjohnny99 The last time I danced in public people gave me money to find a cure. ~ In 2016, 574 white people were killed by police, while 266 black people were killed by police. source In 2016, there were 6,576 white homicide victims, and 7,881 black homicide victims. source If you divide the first number by the second number, you get the percent of homicides by police. For white people, it is 8.72% For black people, it is 3.32% ~ selah

Posted in Weekly Notes by chamblee54 on March 26, 2018


display of a link on this page is not an indication of approval ~ read it and weep This comment was made 03/28/2016: The people who think that racist is the worst insult imaginable are probably not going to vote for DT. Demoze might be making a mistake in their hysterical insistence that DT is a racist. They might impress themselves. It might also drive marginal voters into the DT camp. ~ No, Stormy Daniels’ lawyer didn’t say he has Trump dick pics ~ @TrueFactsStated Stormy’s Lawyer on MSNBC. I’ll paraphrase. “We have photos of Trump’s penis”. ~ Middle East civilian deaths have soared under Trump. And the media mostly shrug. ~ The Last Conversation You’ll Ever Need to Have About Eating Right ~ Andy Warski and J.F Gariépy Smeared by Leftist Media Attack Dogs ~ How They Sold the Iraq War ~ The ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ closing theme lyrics are all gibberish ~ Actually, Palestinians Are Doing Pretty Well Under Israeli Rule ~ Once A Young Woman Named Alice Used A Dynamite Stick For A Phallus. ~ 12 things I wish I knew before visiting Paris ~ Oscar-nominated ‘Traffic Stop’ puts focus on police brutality ~ Woman fired by Hawks sues, claims discrimination against white employees ~ Lets quit calling people that we think are weak pussies. Try delivering a baby out of your dick hole and see whose gentials are stronger ~ Count Dankula convicted for Nazi pug antics ~ Plight of Phoenix: how long can the world’s ‘least sustainable’ city survive? ~ 31 Morning Journaling Prompts that Will Change the Way You Think ~ Racial Division: A Real Problem, A Real Opportunity ~ The Austin Bomber Is Dead, But His First Victim’s Family Still Doesn’t Feel Safe ~ Peachtree Street 08/30/1957 ~ How to download and save your Facebook data before deleting ~ @zora Same thing has happened with “racist”–its meaning has expanded beyond someone who uses racial slurs, marches w/ KKK, etc. That’s good we’re all more aware of everyday racism! But convos still break down at “You’re a racist”/”No I’m not” b/c people don’t agree on definition. ~ dear black people ~ buffet talks ~ Swatting ~ @SethAMandel This is also what’s created the third camp–ppl like me who are interested in the flow and substance of cultural flashpoints but are instantly bored by the tribal commodification of the avatars of those ideas. @chamblee54 *tribal commodification* commodification is a fun word depending on pronunciation, you either convert someone into a commodity, or a commode in the case of @jordanbpeterson it is tough to tell the difference ~ shaun king on stephon clark ~ The Last Temptation ~ John Bolton, Lover of Drama and Wars, Is a Terrible Fit for His New Job ~ one minute art history ~ cum town ~ women on men 46 minutes Aubrey O’Day ~ What we know (and don’t know) about the police shooting of Stephon Clark ~ Names of officers in Stephon Clark shooting released by civil rights attorney ~ backache ~ Police search for men involved in shootout at Chick-fil-A ~ Mother crashed car into pole to prove to kids God is real ~ RAC says new headlights ‘blinding drivers’ ~ gerrymandering ~ The Gerrymandering Project ~ The Gerrymandering Project rss ~ Dick Clark Introduces Jefferson Airplane & the Sounds of Psychedelic San Francisco to America: Yes Parents, You Should Be Afraid (1967) ~ Connor Fionn Hale ~ Is Gerrymandering The Best Way To Make Sure Black Voters Are Represented? ~ Jordan Peterson Is Driving His Critics to Desperate Attacks ~ This Incredible Lost Footage of Judy Garland Singing “By Myself” Never Aired Because Producers Thought It Was “Too Dark”. ~ What do you do if you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, only to learn that you are gluten intolerant? ~ Being in a silent circle, waiting for the next person to speak, is a cherished part of the heart circle. Sitting in comfortable silence, with people you have chosen to be with, is a gift. ~ KimKierkegaardashian @KimKierkegaard He was like, Didn’t you guys see the memo that said DO NOT LEAK?! ~ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Disclaimer: Personal information (names, addresses, phone numbers, identities ETC.) have been redacted in the following audio/video clips to protect the privacy of those involved. ~ US Congress just passed HR 1865, “FOSTA”, seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully. Any tool or service can be misused. We can’t take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully we can bring them back some day. To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through craigslist, we wish you every happiness! ~ Would police be as quick to shoot people, if it was not reasonable to assume that anybody they encounter is probably armed? In other countries, do police mistake a cell phone for a handgun? If an officer is wrong, and that object is a handgun, it might, very quickly, be the last mistake they make. ~ trivialization of racism ~ first first .@GlennLoury defends the intelligence of @realDonaldTrump then says that he is stupid to be honest about his preferences .@AryehCW ~ @zora We need a new word, instead of “terrorist,” to describe how people can now act on ideology independently, w/o the cells and networks people usually associate with the word. “Terrorist” is deployed in racist ways & is no longer useful; useless to argue for broader application. ~ @zoraSame thing has happened with “racist”–its meaning has expanded beyond someone who uses racial slurs, marches w/ KKK, etc. That’s good we’re all more aware of everyday racism! But convos still break down at “You’re a racist”/”No I’m not” b/c people don’t agree on definition. ~ @chamblee54 the definition of racist has expanded to the point that it no longer means anything ~ @zora I would say it has meaning, in its current incarnation, although it’s a kind of abstract, self-helpy meaning that applies to everyone (which in itself is useful to point out). But now there’s no way to identify the “legacy” meaning of the term. Well, ‘cept neo-Nazi. ~ @zora Which reminds me, “white supremacy” has also expanded massively. Most people think KKK in white hoods. Current students and activists mean a whole system. Which is legitimate and true. But, again, conversations break down rapidly over terminology. ~ @chamblee54 i have always thought that liberal conservative racist terrorist were weasel words that should be used with much more caution, if at all… white supremacy might be a good choice for that list, I am sure there are others I prefer racial values to racism it is not either/or ~ sunday, i got in from dinner, and decided to go to java monkey. I tried to print the poem, and the printer gave me an error message. I had to restart the computer to get it to work, while the clock was ticking, and i was later and later on the performing list. the poem was a combination of 15 words that time magazine wants deleted from the language, and a collection of words that somebody thinks have a funny sound. I finally got on at 10:45, just before the 11 pm curfew. Here it is:
maybe i never just went very honestly ~ swashbuckling rutabaga mannequins
i hope that i should but i can’t literally ~ skedaddle spelunker shenanigans
i’ll try but i’ve got a problem absolutely ~ brouhaha pumpernickel appetite
irregardless i have to stuff things really ~ quintessential humbuggery morphodite

It seems best suited for you. We are tired of you and quite frankly don’t even care. The Pres has work to do. You allegedly got paid more than you deserve, so go away. ~ @StormyDaniels “Go back”?… I shoot a movie EVERY month. I never stopped working in the adult business. I actually just signed a NEW contract making this my 17th consecutive year as a contract star and 15th as a contract director. ~ Brazzers, Digital Playground Announce Exclusive Stormy Scenes ~ Tex McIver Trial ~ YouTube Extremism and the Long Tail ~ @seanspicer Secretary Tillerson is a true patriot that has severed our nation well.

Then it began shutting down the communities where harassers and conspiracy theorists thrived. @andrewmarantz reports on the social network’s efforts to curb toxicity: Reddit and the Struggle to Detoxify the Internet @chamblee54 you said u/penisfuckermcgee on podcast sixteen words later, you bleeped the n-word it is good to have standards ~ “The Secretary had every intention of staying”: State’s shocking Tillerson statement ~ eg01_02 ~ Plato, Phaedrus and now you, who are the father of letters, have been led by your affection to ascribe to them a power the opposite of that which they really possess. For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise. ~ pessimist podcast ~ In final appeals, Stocking Strangler attorneys say Ga. is about to execute innocent man ~ Carlton Gary last meal ~ Georgia “stocking strangler” denied clemency on eve of execution ~ Gary dna evidence ~ ‏ @KimKierkegaard I am so excited to get back to my natural dark hair after the false & foolish hope of being blonde KimKierkegaardashian ~ @tsengputterman Beware the man of color who considers the white woman an acceptable outlet of his misogyny. ~ The real problem with the New York Times op-ed page: it’s not honest about US conservatism ~ When you say the internet is dumbing down culture, you are saying the same thing Plato said about the written word. The spell check suggestions for dumbing are numbing, dumping ,dubbing ,plumbing. ~ I quoted this post. I like to start my paragraphs with a link, and will quote the first few words, and see what google finds. That is how I found this post. I see that you are still posting to this blog. The blog format… state of the art in 2004, considered obsolete in 2018… is yet another example of the changing nature of recorded communication. ~ California to Georgia: Trust [some] Black Women ~ Explanation and apology: The multipolar spin: how fascists operationalize left-wing resentment ~ Dylann Roof’s Sister Arrested After Bringing Weapons to School Walkout ~ toxic masculinity ~ downtown projects ~ I Went Undercover In The Alt-RightThe last line: “By coming to know my enemy, I came to know myself.” Maybe the problem is seeing your neighbor as the enemy. ~ Tony’s Talks: An Anti-gay Cardinal And A Gay Prostitute Are Bedfellows In Italy ~ Phil Lesh w Terrapin Family Band and John Scofield The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester NY March 15 2018 ~ And again, more mis-attributed quotes online ~ Photogrammar ~ Let’s Go Play In Traffic: 1957 ~ YouTuber Beloved By The Alt-Right Bragged About Sexually Assaulting A Drunk Woman ~ endonym map ~ peaches records handprints But after the company filed for bankruptcy in 1981 and the Atlanta store closed, the prints were unceremoniously destroyed, says Cochran, “smashed to bits in a single afternoon.” ~ Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982) ~ Towards a truer multicultural science education: how whiteness impacts science education ~ @RealPeerReview Meanwhile in Cultural Studies of Science Education ~ McCabe’s Firing Wasn’t Political.

I told him not to worry, there will probably be a live stream. ~ It is a slippery slope. First you hate racism, then you hate the racist. The terms have elastic definitions, that change according to the motive of the accuser There is the element of name calling. It is easy to call someone racist. It is done casually. It is tough to refute. ~ @RickyCries You never get a second chance to make a first impression. So if meeting someone goes bad you gotta kill em. Can’t let them go spreading that bad first impression around. ~ March 14 Births Albert Einstein (1879) Hank Ketcham (1920) S.

America lost over 100,000 men, in little over a year of combat participation. Many people thought that America had been duped into participation in that war, and wanted no part of any more European wars. ~ @AmishPornStar1 Why do we call them “designated drivers”… Instead of “people who drive us to drink”? ~ KimKierkegaardashian @KimKierkegaard People say your brows should always match your hair, but I actually think it’s more flattering if they’re dark like your soul ~ @AngryBlackLady is an idiot. ~ words that rhyme: beer, dear, fear, gear, here, jeer, kier, leer, near, pier, queer, rear, tear, year ~ many people pronounce it muff uckers, which may have a clue to the real meaning ~ Stand against hate.

people seldom do what they believe ~ they do what’s convenient and repent
there’s only one day at a time to leave ~ or tomorrow will be today’s lament

Maybe Homo Sapiens 2.0 will correct this issue. ~ “It is the resentment, the aggrieved sense of persecution, that they respond to.” Liberals/Democrats reinforce this resentment by screaming racist at every opportunity, as well as the condescending attitude from hell ~ don’t fall into the trap of hating racism… that inevitably leads to hating people you perceive to be racists ~ “lying, narcissism, bullying, bigotry, crassness, name calling, ignorance, paranoia, incompetence and pettiness” liberals do all those things, and feel self righteous about it ~ here is the poem from last night at java monkey:

There has NEVER been an immigrant mass school shooter that I am aware of This is pure racism. @chamblee54 Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Джохáр Анзóрович Царнáeв) was convicted of the Boston Marathon bombing. He was born in Dzhokhar Anzorovich. He appears to be Caucasian, so this might not qualify as racism. ~ @jonsteingart This is quite a correction ~ The Associated Press Thinks Jews In Mourning ‘Sit And Shiver’ ~ Correction: School Shooting-Florida story ~ sit and shiver in politico ~ @CaseyCagle I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back. ~ @CaseyCagle Discriminating against law-abiding gun owners will not solve the problem #2A #gapol ~ The Casey Cagle Affair Her departure from Cagle’s staff had to do with the fact that this couple was caught in the act at the Capitol in Cagle’s office by a secretary, Laurie Sparks. Dewberry claimed she was “tying Casey’s shoes” under his desk. … Then, to everyone’s surprise, Cagle announces he is dropping out of the race in August 2009 because of a severe degenerative spinal disorder … Cagle’s spinal injury cleared up sure enough so that he could run the 2010 Peachtree Road Race and his statewide campaign. … Recently, another tryst involving female staff members occurred in the 2009 legislative session. The scuffle that ensued ended when the police broke up the fight. Apparently, one young intern who was sleeping with Cagle found out that another staff member was riding the Cagle Express too. An open records request was recently filed seeking information on the incident, which Cagle’s office has subsequently ignored. Instead of thinking about education or jobs, Cagle was engaging in sexual relations with two young female members of his office which allegedly ended in a “Cheaters” style brawl that was only broken up when the police were involved. ~ ‏ @thistallawkgirl Casey Cagle looks like a mad scientist who just figured out how to make cocaine at home ~ @johnpavlovitz Dear #Delta. Keep going. We’re with you. Sincerely, The Vast Majority P.S. @CaseyCagle does not speak for us. He’ll understand that in November. ~ @ajconwashington Delta spokesman says only 13 tickets were sold under the airline’s group travel discount for the NRA ~ Joe Frank ~ Dr. Strangelove in the Pentagon ~ Cagle’s statement: ‘I’ve been diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition’ ~ @classiclib3ral Every time I see someone on Twitter say they love “facts and logic” it always means they’re racist and believe eating soy turns you into a woman ~ @DanielFReal Much like those who love ‘FREEDOM’, actaully desire authoratarianism ~ Barbra Streisand Had Her Beloved Dog Samantha Cloned: Meet Miss Scarlett and Miss Violet ~ The New York Times Fired My Doppelgänger ~ godwin goof ~ Where downtown Atlanta’s highway-capping Stitch would go, in photos ~ Flannery O’Connor on Carson McCullers ~ David Hogg Is Fair Game for Critics ~ CNN host challenges Georgia Senator on Delta-Planned Parenthood claim, HQ2 subsidies ~ Why (almost) no one wants to host the Olympics anymore ~ sully on drugs ~ Embracing Black virginity in our collective fight for sexual liberation ~ The fight between Georgia Republicans and Delta Air Lines over the NRA could be a disaster for Atlanta’s bid for Amazon’s HQ2 ~ A Georgia Republican’s Unethical Revenge ~ Early Roman Catholic Church Song Generator ~ N.Y.

It is election year posturing and showboating. The effects on Delta, Delta employees and vendors, and the rest of the state, are not as important as making Casey Cagle appear to be more conservative than the other idiots running for Governor. ~ These leaders had competition In the case of Malcolm X and Mohandas Gandhi, these differences proved fatal I suspect that every well known leader had a talent for internal battles ~ @SlavojTweezek 10% of philosophers, you know, make the other half look like idiots. ~ There is substance, and there is style.

Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas are folk philosophers. A love of words, a glory in the uncertainty of life, revelling in bittersweet lyrics. Can you tell which wise words come from which Dylan? “He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest”? “He not busy being born is busy dying”? “I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now”? “I’d much rather lie in a hot bath reading Agatha Christie and sucking sweets”? “People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent”? “Old age should burn and rave at close of day”? “There are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better. There’s a thousand different angles at any moment”? “An alcoholic is someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do”? “Somebody’s boring me. I think it’s me”? “There’s only one day at a time here, then it’s tonight and then tomorrow will be today again”? “Washington isn’t a city. It’s an abstraction”? “I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”? Your Result 9/12 We believe you may a) wear shades indoors b) have your own barstool in a dark dive and c) mutter. Are we right? ARE WE? Why not explore your poetic side ~ @BoingBoing Olive Garden threatens to sue satirical twitterer for tweet congratulating it for no longer selling AR-15s ~ There was a cease and desist tweet, attributed to lawyers for the Olive Garden. It turned out to be a hoax. This comment exchange was real: “But of course their poor earning report will say “Millennials something something”, and nothing about how they have replaced food with chemical reactions.” ~ “The American Chemical Society demands that you cease and desist your defamatory statements against chemical reactions.” ~ here is the poem from last night at java monkey:

Two Women bickering in Target over Phone etiquette ~ Colorism in the Latinx Community! ~ with one email ~ Critical Performativity in the Field ~ repost ~ How ‘Strange Fruit’ Killed Billie Holiday According to an article linked in that story, ( Strange Fruit: the first great protest song ) Miss Holliday had a no-good husband who snitched her out to the authorities. Also, the arrest was in 1947, after she had been performing “Strange Fruit” for a number of years. While I have no doubt that Harry Anslinger was a gnarly piece of work, I think this article exaggerates his influence. (I should note that the same article says that Judy Garland was a heroin addict. While she certainly had a substance problem, I have never heard that it includes heroin. Google was no help with this one.) ~ The Strange Story Of The Man Behind ‘Strange Fruit’ The story of Abel Meerpol is worth telling as well. He later adopted the children of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Also, the lynching that “Strange Fruit” was inspired by took place in Indiana. ~ Strange Fruit: the first great protest song ~ The Hunting of Billie Holiday ~ Billie Holiday Biography(1915–1959) ~ An ill-waged war against the war on drugs ~ Singer Billie Holiday was tormented by anti-drug squad ~ The Hunting of Billie Holiday & the Roots of the U.S. War on Drugs ~ Billie Holiday: The Tragic Life of Lady Day ~ #18: Strange Fruit – Voices of a Lynching Poet and songwriter Abel Meeropol wrote that lament after seeing a photograph of two black teenagers hanging from a tree. Strange Fruit was later made famous by Billie Holiday. But a third boy escaped being lynched that fateful day, 80 years ago, in Marion, Indiana. James Cameron was believed to be the only African American to have survived a lynching. ~ Billie and Lester against the world ~ Tallulah Bankhead And Billie Holiday ~ Negro & White Women, United, Travel to Petition Governor Talmadge to Free Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram, Victim of Oppression ~ The Secret Auden ~ Johann Hari: ‘I failed badly.

Another icon of my childhood is gone. ~ Is creating a meme the facebook version of thoughts and prayers? ~ People ~ who like to be seen denouncing racism love to hate the kkk. Nothing you say about the bedsheet boys is out of bounds. The truth is that the kkk has as much influence, and respect, as the bad guys in professional wrestling. The kkk is a fashion challenged version of the westboro baptist church. You have to wonder why people get so much enjoyment from trash talking the klan. Maybe this is a distraction for their own unresolved racial conflicts. ~ A couple of months ago, a miracle happened. The ac adapter to some computer speakers wore out.

display of a link on this page is not an indication of approval ~ Palmer Marsh If the South had won, we would be a hell of a lot better off. ~ Atlanta gay bar faces backlash over owner’s racist Facebook posts calling Obama a ‘n**ger’ ~ Burkhart’s GM responds after owner’s racist Facebook posts uncovered ~ KHALID SINGS, “I DON’T WANT TO COME HOME TONIGHT,” AND I WONDER WHERE HOME IS IN THE FIRST PLACE ~ bird ~ City moves to give landmark status to Midtown funeral home, block site’s redevelopment ~ Dear Mr. Trump…In truth the only shithole nation is the one that tolerates a racist president. ~ hair product racial profiling ~ A Desire for History ~ the slash ~ pyramids ~ White Candidate for Georgia Governor Basically Does MLK Blackface ~ drag walkout ~ drag walkout II ~ Atlanta Queens Collectively Resign Over Burkhart’s Racism Fiasco ~ 10 Conversations On Racism I’m Sick Of Having With White People Conversations I Am Tired Of Having ~ gallus ~ Midtown bar under new ownership after controversial Facebook posts surface ~ A Lifetime of Activism: Jane Fonda on Gender Violence, Indigenous Rights & Opposing War in Vietnam ~ live feed I just listened to a live feed of the meeting this morning. I did not hear the infamous facebook post mentioned one time. Maybe it wasn’t that important. When I pointed out the lack of evidence for this post, I was called “racist apologist.” I was told to “examine my whiteness.” I was insulted. I had numerous other facebook posts presented, as though that indicated that the seminal post was genuine. It was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. All you had to do was acknowledge that the post was shaky, and move on. You could have talked about the other issues involved here, but you chose to insult me. There is a rule… the first person to start personal insults loses. ~ Burkhart’s remains closed as purported sale collapses ~ Police: Man shot at multiple cars before being shot, killed by officer ~ The Reading Rooms Designed to Protect Women from “Library Loafers” ~ Most of what you’re going to read today is pointless. ~ Owner of Burkhart’s apologizes, still plans to sell ~ edition number four ~ Vol.3 no 26 June 29, 1970 ~ GSU Library ~ palmer marsh ~ Style vs Substance, in discussions on racism, is a conversation we should have. Every wild eyed charge of racism is accepted without thought, and celebrated with yet another round of pearl clutching. ~ the answer to my security question… favorite restaurant … gave me fits, because I was embarrassed to say McDonalds ~ p17 june 29 1970 ~ Did anyone see the Obama/n-word post when it first appeared? What was the time and date? Is there a cached copy available? Do you realize how easy it would be to fake that screen shot? If an incendiery post like that appeared, why wasn’t it noticed at the time? Supposedly, there has been whispering about Mr. Marsh’s racial values for years. There are various incidents recited now about employees. What put it over the top, and into the awareness of the community, is that screen shot about Barack Obama. Who is the ex-employee who posted it? What were their motives? People think this is what fighting racism looks like. Police brutality, economic opportunity, access to housing, education, and health care…. this is institutional racism. None of this will be affected by hand wringing over facebook posts. This whole thing is fishy. People are so eager to believe an accusation of racism. No proof is required, You are guilty until proven innocent. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah
